Testing with Octavia
====================
Unit Testing
------------
Octavia uses tox to manage the virtual environments for running test cases.
Install python-tox:
.. code-block:: bash
$ pip install tox
To run the full suite of tests maintained within Octavia.
.. code-block:: bash
$ tox
.. NOTE::
The first time you run ``tox``, it will take additional time to build
virtualenvs. You can later use the ``-r`` option with ``tox`` to rebuild
your virtualenv in a similar manner.
To run tests for one or more specific test environments(for example, the most
common configuration of Python 2.7 and PEP-8), list the environments with the
``-e`` option, separated by spaces:
.. code-block:: bash
$ tox -e py27,pep8
See ``tox -l`` for the full list of available test environments.
Functional Testing
------------------
Octavia creates a simulated API and handler for its functional tests.
The tests then run requests against the mocked up API.
To run the entire suite of functional tests:
.. code-block:: bash
$ tox -e functional
To run a specific functional test:
.. code-block:: bash
$ tox -e functional octavia.tests.functional.api.v1.test_load_balancer
Tests can also be run using partial matching, to run all API tests for v1:
.. code-block:: bash
$ tox -e functional api.v1
Additional options can be used while running tests. Two useful options that can
be used when running tests are ``-- --until-failure`` which will run the tests
in a loop until the first failure is hit, and ``-- --failing`` which if used
after an initial run will only run the tests that failed in the previous run.
Scenario Testing
----------------
Octavia uses Tempest to cover the scenario tests for the project.
These tests are run against actual cloud deployments.
To run the entire suite of scenario tests:
.. code-block:: bash
$ tox -e scenario
.. NOTE::
The first time running the Tempest scenario tests export the
Tempest configuration directory
(i.e. TEMPEST_CONFIG_DIR=/opt/stack/tempest/etc)
